I am afraid I do not know about David Morales. Could you give me some more information.

Hi John,

If CIA had a Boogieman, David Sanchez Morales was it.

In a nutshell, David Morales aka Dr. Gonzalez AKA Stanley Zamka aka El Indio aka Didi aka the Big Indian aka Moralma was second in charge at JM/WAVE and in fact signed off on the Bayo/Pawley mission. He was in Guatemala in 1954, Venezuala 1955-58, in Havana with the State Department in 1960, Peru 1965-66, Laos in 1966 as Base Chief at Pakse, Bolivia 1967 and Chile in 1973.

Morales was held with some esteem by David Phillips and John Martino. He was also very close with John Roselli and was the man identified as the individual who spoke with Rolando Cubela in Paris during September of 1963.

I personally hold the belief that Morales was the one behind the planning for Dealey Plaza by using cutouts to employ various operational cells.

A note of interest, it was reported that during a drinking session, Morales was asked about JFK. He went into a tirade finishing with, "Well, we took care of that son-of-a-bitch."

Morales died on May the 8th, 1978.

FWIW.

When the Select Committee on Intelligence Activities and Select Committee on Assassinations began investigating Kennedy's death in the 1970s the deaths of potential witnesses increased dramatically. This included several criminals with links to the secret Executive Action plan to kill foreign political leaders. Those who died violent deaths during this period included Lucien Sarti (1972), Thomas Davis (1973), Dave Yarras (1974), Sam Giancana (1975), Jimmy Hoffa (1975), Johnny Roselli (1976), George De Mohrenschildt (1977), Charlie Nicoletti (1977) and Carlos Prio (1977).

Excellent stuff, John.

You can also add David Morales to that list of people who passed away in that 1970's period. He didn't die violently but from a heart attack which was quite convenient for those who may have been implicated in JFK's assassination.

Cheers,

James
